Borderlands 2 'almost certainly' getting another character

Gearbox head Randy Pitchford said the team is "working on" another character class for Borderlands 2, and again reaffirmed that a level cap increase is in development.

Borderlands 2 is most likely getting a sixth playable character, according to Gearbox studio head Randy Pitchford. This would be the sixth character in the game, after the four on-disc and pre-order bonus Mechromancer.

The revelation comes from Pitchford's Twitter. Asked if another class is coming, he replied, "Almost certainly yes. We're working on it."

In regards to the promised level cap increase, which is proving trickier than anticipated, Pitchford urged patience. "News as soon as we can," he said. "Sorry I can't offer more yet - I get skewered when things change in development, whatever the reason."
